[malibu]

WTF is McVay doing unbelievable. Its a chip shot and we are up by 3 scores in the 4th at 20-3. Over 12 minutes to go what is he thinking?

Seriously?

Exactly. He doesn't trust karty anymore. I won't be surprised if they cut him tomorrow. Chase needs to go to but I doubt he will fire him

Yep. Have to agree a this…

Sad state of affairs for the special team group.

We def put ‘special’ in special teams

[Cornell29]

Chip shot easy 3.

The miss he had today was a chip shot

[Truth]

My guess is he trust O over Special Teams

Chip shot easy 3.

True but he doinked a 26 yarder, then the 36 yarder he shanked in barely above the crossbar.

I think they keep him until Justin Tucker is eligible week 10.

These choices by McVay are bizarre and inexplicable and are not NFL level calls , Don’t trust your kicker , don’t trust your RBs. , don’t trust long snapper etc . . . These in game decisions defy logic and it’s not McVay bashing either. If you are not asking these types of questions you are simply an apologist.

He trusted his rb last week on 4th and 1.
He trust his kicker earlier today on a 26 yarder, which he missed. Trusted his kicker again, and he barely luckily got it through.

After seeing how Karty was kicking today in this weather, would you trust him?

[RonMac]

But this is his team and he picked these players so someone else is to blame ? Also does not switch out underperforming players so where does the buck stop ? What we are watching is very very hard to explain and I like McVay.

Stafford and Adams cost the rams at least 10 points, Mcvay isn't going to bench them. That alone would have made the game 27 to 3

Mcvay needs to fire Chase and get ST fixed

[TXRamFan]

We will have a new kicker after the bye.

It is never that simple with karty

[Cornell29]

Need a new ST coach too

[GoldenRam]

Because kicking game is white knuckler, perhaps?? Just as likely to get blocked and back for 6 as to be good kick

[bigklein]

A special teams change is needed: overturned fumble resulting in a potentially game-changing punt return, missed field goal, barely made field goal. Things are just weird, and confidence needs to be restored. Not sure if that will happen before the bye though. I see the coach going before Karty.

But that run play to Ferguson was just so bizarre and SLOW. He’s a big end zone target with great hands who can fight for the ball. Use him that way. If you run a sweep, there are many other choices. McVay really outsmarted and undercut himself with that call. So weird.

[RonMac]

That play was awful & Ferguson was so slow it looked like he was scared / perfect example of trying to be too cute.

That was a horrible call

Everybody in our section was asking the same thing....my guess was McV wanted to be up by 21 and he also knew the Ravens offense wasn't anything to worry about. I really don't think he was hesitant with the kicker....I watched Karty putting in extra time and he really looks solid in practice, so that tells me it's a little bit of a head thing going on.

Give it the year Cornell and It looks to me we have a good one

How did Stafford cost us points? The red zone 3rd down was under duress. Stafford was fine a bunch of untimely drips today. His fumble was bad Shelton play.

I agree. Enough is enough who gives a shit who's fault it is. Changes need to be made every game we have a bad coverage on a punt or kick off, blocked FGs, Extra points. Time to fire Blackburn perfect time with bye coming up.

The run play to Ferguson was on McVay. How about throw to him.

[malibu]

We got away with sone bad coaching calls. bad drops, and some bad OL plays because the Ravens were so injured. The margin of error will be way less against better teams.

With Karty there isn't an "easy 3" chipshot. Did you see the 26 yard chipshot he made??? Knuckled it in low and barely inside the right post. Dude is cooked.

The missed throw to Adams. There were two, Ill give him a pass on one.

Whittington cost the rams points too, I forgot his drop

[ocram23]

it was an ugly W but it was a W so onto next week.

I will say thank you the Ravens OC is awful. the play calling for them at the end of the 1st half on the goal line was just plain awful

[LARAMFAN52]

Justin Tucker was losing it last time he was playing

He was the best kicker in the NFL from 2016 to 2023. He had a down year last year but I think he’s easily the best available kicker when he comes off suspension. Someone is going to sign him I hope it’s the Rams

[DelMar]

We got away with sone bad coaching calls. bad drops, and some bad OL plays because the Ravens were so injured. The margin of error will be way less against better teams.

I’ve been thinking about just this, since the game today. And honestly, I can’t remember a year during McVays tenure, where the Rams were this sloppy.

From top to bottom. We’re so up and down, no continuity, lame execution, bone head calls, players giving up mid play, not wrapping up, brain farts and on and on… honestly, I’m surprised we’re not 1-5.

But here’s the crazy part…

we’re only 2-3 plays away from being 6-0. So I’m not sure if this is a testament if we’re contenders and we’re our own worst enemy OR if we are just really lucky… at this point, I’m a bit perplexed.

[RonMac]

Very well put DelMar - mirrors my thoughts on things where you do not want to come off complaining about a W but the shocking delivery of a product that just does not seem “ buttoned up” in any facet of the game. It runs the entire gamut of bizarre play calls , execution, strange roles for players. Etc . . . And you just ask yourself why ? No team has a Pro Bowler at each position but a modicum of consistency should be expected after 6 games for a contending team. IMO the Rams are not true contenders but should battle to get a playoff spot & enter the turkey shoot known as the playoffs - but discussion on the strange flow of events of the entire operation is not crazy or a “ bitch “ session.

[Rammer]

4-2 which is fine but the rams have been difficult to watch this year. They are constantly shooting themselves in the foot. I feel like they try to give every game away. It’s not the look of a team that is going to win the division.
